Charging the rechargeable
battery
Note that the solar garden light must be switched
on when the battery is charging.
The charging time of the battery when the solar cell
is used depends on the intensity of the sunlight and
the angle of incidence of the light on the solar cell.
Place the solar cell as perpendicular as possible to
the angle of incidence of the light. In this way you
will receive the highest light levels.
Maintenance and care
The light-emitting diodes cannot be replaced.
The solar lamp is maintenance-free, except for any
necessary change of battery.
Clean the solar lamp regularly with a dry, lint-
free cloth. Use a slightly dampened cloth to
remove more stubborn dirt.
